Confederate Fast Days

During the course of The War, Confederate President Jefferson Davis is supposed to have proclaimed ten (10) fast days, during which the public was supposed to fast, attend church, and pray for God to bestow his blessings upon the Confederacy.

I have found the following nine (9) dates ... but I am missing one and need confirmation of the dates below ...

Thursday, 13 Jun 1861 (1st Fast Day)
Friday, 15 Nov 1861
Friday, 28 Feb 1862
Friday, 16 May 1862
Friday, 27 Mar 1863
Friday, 21 Aug 1863
Friday, 8 Apr 1864
Wednesday, 16 Nov 1864
Friday, 10 Mar 1865

... Thanks ....
